Facebook

Facebook makes it very difficult to delete your account. You won’t find the option to delete your account permanently simply by looking through the settings. Find that page, you can either to go to Facebook’s help center or you can follow these steps:

1) If you’re not sure whether you want to permanently remove your Facebook account, you can deactivate it. This way, you can rejoin within 30 days without losing your data. To do that, head to Facebook’s security settings page.

2) Now click Deactivate your account. This link is buried beneath “When you’re logged in” and you are unlikely to see it unless you’re looking for it.

3) Facebook will now try to emotionally blackmail you into reversing your decision. If you ignore the photos of the people who “will miss you”, you can select any reason and click Confirm.

5) You’ll see a pop-up, where you’ll have to enter your password and characters shown in an image (captcha). Click Okay and then click Okay again in a second pop-up. Facebook gives you a chance to change your mind – if you log in anytime in the next two weeks, Facebook will reactivate your account.

Secondly, you will not be able to leave reviews on Google Play store. This is because Google has integrated all three services together.

If you still want to take this step, this is what you need to do:
